		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that patients with Graves&#039; disease are far more likely to develop gluten sensitivity enteropathy (GSE or celiac disease or sprue) than people in the normal population? (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="http://www.gravesremedy.com/images/gluten.jpg" alt="Gluten-Free Symbol" /></p>
<p><b>Did you know that patients with <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">Graves&#039; disease</a> are far more likely to develop gluten sensitivity enteropathy (GSE or celiac disease or sprue) than people in the normal population?</b></p>
<p>Got a testimonial recently from a customer who had some great information regarding <a href="http://www-gravesdisease.com">Gluten Sensitivity</a> and <a href="http://www-gravesdisease.com">Graves&#039; Disease</a> and how she removed Gluten from her diet.</p>
<p><b> Here is what she said:</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
&quot;Dear Joe to add to your research into graves disease, I removed gluten from my diet and take the herb pau darco which helps cut candida growth from the gut. I take no other supplements.</p>
<p>My thyroid has stabilized and I find I have no trouble with it or my diet any more, can eat seafood, drink a coffee or have a glass of wine, I sleep well and have no health issues. it is a simple regime as there are plenty of gluten free breads, pastas etc on the market&nbsp; and most restaurants cater for it.</p>
<p>This has been a simple and effective solution for me to something that was quite life threatening 4 years ago.&nbsp; It may help others too.&quot;</p>
<p>- Best wishes Deborah</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><br />
Why Does Gluten Sensitivity Affect Graves&#039; Disease?</b></p>
<p>One of the reasons for the co-existence of these two disorders revolves around the fact that both disorders (and several other diseases) share the immune system genetic markers HLA B-8 and HLA DR3. Individuals having these genetic markers can develop one or more of a certain cluster of diseases associated with these genes.</p>
<p>Gluten Sensitivity is characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Although the cause is food intolerance, the ultimate response is <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">autoimmune</a>, with cells of the gastrointestinal tract producing autoantibodies.</p>
<p>Patients with concomitant autoimmune thyroid disease also have significantly lower levels of thyroid autoantibodies. With a tapering of their autoimmune response to gluten, the entire autoimmune mechanism is diminished. Patients with both disorders experience a reduction of both thyroid induced and gluten induced symptoms.</p>
<p>There are many great places to find Gluten Free foods, such as <a href="http://www.naturalproductsassoc.org/site/PageServer?pagename=find_stores">your nearest Health Food Store</a>. Some gluten free foods can also be found at your nearest grocery store. </p>
<p><i> You should consult your doctor about getting testing for GSE. It may just be a reason why your thyroid problems are always flaring up.</i></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Graves&#8217;s disease is a serious life threatening autoimmune disorder that is aggravated by stress. (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graves&rsquo;s disease is a serious life threatening autoimmune disorder that is aggravated by stress. The fact that conventional medicine has failed to officially proclaim any cure for it is no help whatsoever . . .</p>
<p>Stress seems to be a bigger factor with <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">Grave&rsquo;s hyperthyroidism</a> more than with other autoimmune disorders because it wrecks havoc on the adrenal glands causing extreme changes in adrenaline production.</p>
<p>While mainstream medicine searches for a patentable drug to treat the symptoms or a more advanced procedure for cutting or burning out the effected body parts, let&rsquo;s look at the facts. There is no doubt that natural alternative remedies have a much higher success rate than conventional medicine and there&rsquo;s a good reason.</p>
<p><b>Grave&rsquo;s disease is NOT a drug deficiency!</b></p>
<p>One point stands clear, if &ldquo;they&rdquo; are spending money not looking for the root cause, they are not going to find a cure in time for you. You can sit there, holding your breath and wait for them, or you can discover what you can do for yourself in the meantime.</p>
<p><i>First let&rsquo;s look at what an autoimmune imbalance is all about.</i></p>
<p>All your trillions of cells are constantly regenerating and to do this they must stay in <i>constant communication</i>. When critical minerals and nutrients are depleted or missing, your body&rsquo;s ability to communicate cell-to-cell is compromised, or in some cases entirely cut off.</p>
<p>When communication is cut off, cells begin to function independently of the whole. In the case of your immune system this means Natural Killer Cells and White Blood Cells unknowingly attack the healthy cells they are supposed to protect. I guess you could say autoimmune dysfunction is like &ldquo;friendly fire.&rdquo;</p>
<p><i>As with Grave&rsquo;s disease your body is at war with itself . . .</i></p>
<p>The key to understanding how you can help your body restore proper immune function is to simply restore the lines of communication.</p>
<p>This cellular intercommunication network is completely dependent on trace minerals and their cofactors. By restoring cell membrane health your body can then begin the healing process and repair any damage that took place while &ldquo;the lines&rdquo; were down.</p>
<p>The good news is once you know the secret, it&rsquo;s like turning the lights back on . . . <i>you simply have to hit the switch!<br />
</i><br />
<b>Your body needs water and electrolytes!</b></p>
<p>Regeneration is a healing process where your body can replace damaged tissues. Some of the most vital bodily functions involve <i>natural electrical properties</i> of your body&rsquo;s tissues and cells. This is called cell membrane potential (capacitance) and protein semi-conduction of electricity.</p>
<p>When key nutrients and minerals are present your body can support protein synthesis, cell membrane capacitance and proper electrical communication. Injured cells cannot maintain normal membrane potential and electrically short out slowing repair and rejuvenation.</p>
<p>The secret to repairing thyroid tissue and rejuvenation is to support healthy cell membranes in tissue forming cells. This means you need to increase the <i>mineral levels</i> inside your cells.</p>
<p><b>Natural alternative remedies are designed specifically to support the electrical signals needed for new tissue formation.</b></p>
<p>Simply taking mineral supplements is not the solution, even if the minerals reach the blood they cannot get inside your cells with out the right help. Usually most minerals loose their ionic charge before they reach the cell membrane itself.</p>
<p>The body solves this problem with mineral transporters . . . also known as <i>oratates</i>.</p>
<p>If you are <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">suffering from Grave&rsquo;s</a> you most likely need a good mineral food source to ensure you boost your electrolytes along with their natural oratates. This is easily done by eating various super foods and raw dairy products found in grass feed cows&rsquo;, sheep and goats&rsquo; milk.</p>
<p>In fact only recently has mainstream medicine begun to recognize these missing links. Studies are now showing many incredible benefits in otherwise healthy individuals such as <i>accelerated wound healing</i>, balancing mood swings and increased sports performance.</p>
<p>Zinc oratate are vital for <i>proper immune function</i>. A zinc deficiency is associated with the shrinking and wasting of the thymus, reduction in white blood cell counts, and increased susceptibility to infection.</p>
<p><b>Still stressed out?</b></p>
<p>Scientists have determined that plant sterols and natural sterolins are effective at enhancing an under-active immune system or decreasing an overactive one. Sterols and sterolins increase growth hormone (DHEA) levels naturally.</p>
<p>These natural healing wonders reduce the stress hormone cortisol and the pro-inflammatory immune factor interleuken-6 (IL-6). Plant sterols and sterolins are vital for any autoimmune disorder.</p>
<p><i>The immune system needs plant nutrients, vitamins, protein, minerals and coenzymes to support optimum immunity.</i></p>
<p>If you are already on medication, use natural remedies in conjunction with your medications. Do not stop your medications.</p>
<p>Signing off I want to thank all my loyal readers for your letters of support and encouragement. I can only hope to encourage you to continue on your natural path to self knowledge and accelerated healing without dependency on drugs.</p>
<p>I hope this sheds some light on a little known subject that statistically more and more people are suffering from . . .</p>
<p>Live well,</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Society leads us to believe that traditional medical and prescription treatments are the only solution to curing any health related problem, including Graves&#039; disease. (...)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Society leads us to believe that traditional medical and prescription treatments are the only solution to curing any health related problem, including Graves&#039; disease. This belief is due to the over marketing and constant bombardment by the conventional medical community. However, conventional medicine and treatments are not all that they seem to be. They forget to treat one major factor: the underlying source of the disease.</p>
<p>So, lets take a look at what these treatments are.</p>
<p>The conventional approach to <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">treating Graves&#039; disease</a> is to limit the amount of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. </p>
<p>This is accomplished by: </p>
<p>1) Anti-thyroid drugs which inhibit thyroid hormone production. </p>
<p>2) Radioiodine ablation in which thyroid cells are destroyed, thereby limiting the amount of thyroid tissue available for producing thyroid hormone</p>
<p>3) In some cases surgery, usually a partial thyroidectomy in which the majority of the thyroid gland is removed. </p>
<p>However, conventional treatments do not attack the real problem associated with Graves disease. Typical drugs slow down the immune system, which is counter productive and will lead to a host of other health concerns. Radioiodine is used until the patient goes into spontaneous remission, but it still has not solved the underlying problem and patients nearly always eventually become hypothyroid. Worse yet is surgery. Surgery will only lead to other thyroid problems and a continuous dependency on drugs. </p>
<p>Alternative medicine has the same goals as conventional treatment, but most importantly, <u>it does not add to the problem</u>. </p>
<p>The <u>holistic approach</u> also aim to reduce the amount of thyroid hormone produced by the gland. But, alternative treatments also target the immune system! The holistic approach aims at not only curing the symptoms, but also solving the underlying source of the problem, not to mention helps you create a healthier body. </p>
<p>In fact many Graves&#039; disease patients have gone into remission using alternative means alone. Others have used a combination of anti-thyroid drugs and alternative medicine. And others have used antithyroid drugs until their thyroid levels fell into the normal range, and then have weaned themselves off these dangerous drugs using alternative medicine.</p>
<p>Most important note to take from this! </p>
<p>Alternative and holistic treatments can, and should be used, for all <a href="http://www.gravesremedy.com">Graves Disease patients</a>, no matter what treatments have or have not yet been done. Not only are drug therapy and other conventional treatments dangerous, they are also, (in milder cases) not necessary at all. They are simply the product of the medical mindset in America. </p>
<p>It is in your best interest to not only follow alternative treatments, but also start them as soon as you can. The quicker you start treating the underlying problem, the more effective the outcome. </p>
<p>You owe it to yourself to start treating Graves&rsquo; disease using alternative treatments. </p>
